How to setup a Zombie Riot Server for Counter Strike Source on Ubuntu Server All in One (Linux Version)

Email Print

I have decided to create an All in One package to install the Zombie Riot modification as quickly as possible for new server owners who don’t necessarily want to go through the entire process. I will assume that you have installed a fresh copy of the latest Counter Strike Source server and you currently want to install all of the plug-ins required to run Zombie Riot on a Linux machine. For this tutorial, I have installed Zombie Riot and all of its plug-ins on Ubuntu Server 10.10. If you need help installing Counter Strike Source on a Linux box, please visit How to install Counter Strike Source on Ubuntu Server 10.10 (Linux distro).

Requirements to install Zombie Riot:

- Metamod Source 1.8.5

- Sourcemod(SM) plugin 1.3.6

- SM SDKHooks plugin 1.3

- Zombie Riot mod 1.9.1

 

Disclaimer: BEFORE YOU START, make sure to back up your orangebox directory in case the installation OVERWRITES your server.cfg or fails to install! If you are not sure how to back up a directory, you can follow these commands below starting from the srcds directory.

1) mkdir orangeboxbackup

2) cp –r orangebox orangeboxbackup

Note: Backing up may take between 5-10 minutes depending on the speed of your server.

 

Now that you have backed up your orangebox directory, we can start downloading an installing the All in One package.

1) Go to your orangebox directory

2) Enter the following command:

wget http://www.forsakenplanet.net/repository/riot/dev/zombieriot_allinone191.tar.gz

3) Now enter the following command:

tar –xvzf zombieriot_allinone191.tar.gz

4) Success, you have just installed all of the necessary files to run Zombie Riot!

5) Now you need to restart the server before running srcds. Once you start up srcds, you need to restart srcds at least once in order for source mod to update itself before the zombie skins will show up. Enjoy!

 

Why are the maps so bright?

You can enable zriot_dark to “1” instead of 0 to enable the darkness and also change from whatever it was to zriot_dark_level "h”
